Default License plate mod.

Always wanted to put a chrome frame around my plate but the stock bracket with the lower edge prevented it. Removed that lower part with the reflector and I have a new look I am satisfied with.

Never, in 25 years, have I ever done what I did this morning!

Pulled the TG out into the driveway and left it there. Mary is washing it and detailing it on her own today.

She's helped me plenty of times, but never have I pawned the whole thing off on her...plus, it's been months since it was cleaned. :xzqxz:

We have a booth this Saturday at the Mid-South Biker Bash that it needs to be clean for.

Congrats on the new seat any pictures? seat bolts can be a pain I hated the task until I found this fix on the forum.

Just a quick fix 1"circle cut out on a milk jug punch a small hole in center and thread the seat bolt onto it before you put seat back on trike. I did this years ago ends misery of replacing seat. I now remove seat to clean frame and service Old Shiney on a regular basis. just sayin. ride safely Fred

I changed out my 12 1/2 LRS for a 10 1/2 today. I'm getting ready for a lot of long rides and I just acquired a fleece gel pad, but it sits me up 2" higher and was messing with my line of vision. I haven't been able to try it out yet because of the rain, but if it doesn't work I have a 9 1/2" to try.
